SigningBanks.UK is our initiative aimed at bridging the gap between Deaf consumers and the banking and financial services sector. Especially for those customers whose first language is sign language. We have learnt so much about that customer journey from Rachel Vann Kathryn Townsend Mark Applin Alistair Griffin Rebecca Mansell MCIOF Reg Cobb Daniel Clements Anna Roughley Tamzin Bayne Teri Devine Steve Korris as members of our Advisory Board. And guided by the wisdom of our co-chair James West who currently steers the Advisory Board with Reg Cobb. We are only just getting going on our mission to make banking and finance more accessible to Deaf consumers. Our hopes are that by next #PurpleTuesday we will have more to shout out and we will have connected with more #Deafallies within banking and finance. We have seen some real progress made by the banks and financial services firms shepherded by Kathryn Townsend who leads an Industry Working Group. And Rachel Vann always shows the way forward with her incredible energy and determination. Watch this space. www.signingbanks.uk #PurpleTuesday #Deafawareness #Banking

Roots Federation we are delighted to share that British Sign Language (BSL) is now featured across all of our nursery and federation websites A huge thanks to Signly for making this a easy streamlined process. This move aligns with our commitment to nurture curiosity and celebrate each child's and family individuality, ensuring education is accessible and inclusive. Inclusivity and Accessibility: Integrating BSL ensures our educational resources are accessible to children and families who use sign language, creating an inclusive atmosphere where every child feels welcome and valued. Empowering Families: Having BSL across all educational platforms means that families with deaf members have equal access to information, allowing them to fully engage with and support their child's educational journey. Cultural and Social Enrichment: Embracing BSL not only acknowledges the cultural heritage of the Deaf community but also offers students the chance to learn new skills, broadening their social horizons and preparing them for a diverse society. At Roots Federation, we believe every child deserves the best start, and integrating BSL is a step toward making education accessible for all. We invite educational providers to collaborate with us to ensure materials meet the needs of their audience. Our dedicated teams offer training and support to address these essential issues. Let's work together to create an empowering educational environment for every child.

💔 Reflecting on My Journey as a Deaf Student 💔 Forty years ago, I navigated school without access to a BSL interpreter until college (1978-1995). The reality of being deaf in a system that didn’t prioritize accessibility was challenging. I often felt isolated and struggled to engage with my peers and teachers. It’s a reminder of how crucial it is to advocate for inclusivity in education. Everyone deserves the chance to learn and grow in an environment where they feel supported. Let's work towards ensuring that no student faces these barriers again. 👉 Watch here - https://lnkd.in/eiJZ6rGr #AccessibilityMatters #Inclusion #DeafAwareness

Accessibility matters. This powerful clip from Waterloo Road shows what can happen when a deaf pupil starts school without adequate or appropriate support in place. Thanks to the BBC for helping to highlight the challenges faced by the Deaf community. Every deaf child should have access to the support they need to reach their full potential – no matter their type or level of deafness, or how they choose to communicate.

I'm thrilled to share that SignUp has just released a feature interview with me. It was a fantastic experience discussing my journey and our work at Signly. One of my favorite quotes from the interview: "Learning American Sign Language is not just about acquiring a new language; it is about embracing a rich cultural experience. Be patient with yourself, enjoy the process, and celebrate your progress." Check out the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eCt8eW9s If you haven’t tried SignUpMedia yet, I highly recommend it - it’s an excellent platform for staying informed and engaged!
